Although some people follow a gluten-free diet as a lifestyle choice, there are sadly many people who don’t have a choice.
Celiac disease is a serious condition that affects 1 in 100 people, where the immune system attacks and damages the small intestine every time a person consumes food containing gluten.
This condition can cause unpleasant symptoms and the best way to manage it is by eating food which doesn’t contain gluten. This can be a challenge, but mealtimes don’t have to become boring.
